Benfica Lisbon
🎙 José Mourinho praised Benfica's team performance in their match against Napoli, commending the players for their 2-0 victory, which brings the Eagles closer to advancing to the next stage of the competition: "A magnificent win, a magnificent game. Both as a team and individually. There wasn't a single player on the pitch who didn't play exceptionally well. Of course, one or two players always stand out, but I think as a team they played fantastically. From a defensive standpoint, there was excellent cohesion and understanding of a complex game where we defended the zone against a team that creates tactical setups that are very hard to counter. And then, with the ball, they interpreted our ideas well, and everything went smoothly. I think today it will be very, very, very difficult for experts to criticize Benfica... I think today they'll find it tough to do so, no matter how hard they try, because in my opinion, the team delivered a truly outstanding performance."
❌ Bach, Bruma, Lukebakio, and Araujo remain sidelined. All players have been in the treatment room for a while now, with no new injuries reported.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
José is in a great place at the moment, and so is his team. Benfica are gaining momentum, and a Champions League victory could boost their confidence even further. Moreirense, undoubtedly, pose a tricky challenge, but the current form of these clubs is incomparable. If the hosts attempt an aggressive approach, they might find themselves on the receiving end of a heavy defeat. Benfica's defense alone can create a comfortable lead. Our pick is a Benfica win with a -1 handicap.
